Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Implantação de CGH's na Amazônia: uma visão global com ênfase nos aspectos hidrológicos, tecnológicos, ambientais e financeiros(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) BEZERRA, Fábio Vinícius Vieira; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662; BLANCO, Claudio José Cavalcante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8319326553139808A problem of great social relevance in the Amazon Region is the fact that small isolated communities are not contemplated by the benefits of the big hydroelectric plants installed in the region. An alternative solution to this problem is the use of the big mesh of small rivers and creeks of the area to the implantation of small hydroelectric power plants known in Brazil as CGH´s. Within this context, the present work analyzes and discusses certain general aspects concerning the implantation of CGH's, and mainly, bringing them to the reality of the small Amazon basins. The aspects to be approached in this work are concerned with the technological, hydrological, environmental, and financial contexts. These aspects are analysed in a global form and also in a specific way through a case study - the implantation of sister’s Dorothy CGH, in which was possible the use of existent methodologies for the studies of implanting CGH's in the Amazon Region. Within the hydrological aspects it was possible the use of existent rain-flow model developed by Blanco 2005, and applied to small basins in the Amazon Region which do not possess flow registrations. In the environmental context nowadays there is a strong requirement of the local authorities for the accomplishment of environmental studies relative to the energy enterprise. Taking into consideration that the Amazon region is environmentally very affected by man's action, these studies should be very well defined, in order to point out the possible impacts that can be caused by CGH, which must be described in the RAS (Simplified Environmental Report), requested by the competent organ responsible for regulating small energy uses. In view of that, it was developed in this work a methodology to simulate and calculate the flooded area by the CGH’s implantation in the Amazon Region, and a case study concerning the implantation of sister Dorothy’s CGH is presented. In the technological context, due to the main characteristics of low falls of the Amazonian rivers and creeks, the focus of the technological analysis will be on the behavior of axial turbine adapted to low falls. The technological analysis contemplates the use of tools for predicting the performance of axial turbines. In the financial context , there is rare information regarding the costs of implantation of CGH's in the Amazon. The costs regarding the sister’s Dorothy CGH were obtained and compared with other equivalent CGH’s and diesel generators available in the literature.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Modelagem hidrodinâmica e estudo morfológico do Lago Água Preta: um dos mananciais da Grande Belém(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) HOLANDA, Patrícia da Silva; BLANCO, Claudio José Cavalcante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8319326553139808The natural conditions of water resources can be modified with the unsustainable use of them. For example, in Belém, capital of Pará State, Água Preta Lake has a history of degradation jeopardize the drinking water supply in Belém. Thus, the main contribution of this work is to develop a study on modeling hydrodynamic and morphological study of Água Preta Lake. Such study is carrid out through two data sources. The first is a bathymetric chart to date from 1975. This chart is avaliable in the archives of COSANPA. The second was performed with an ADCP and the dates from 2009. The modeling began with the development of models of terrain elevation to date from 1975 and 2009, also used for the morphological study of the lake. To assemble the hydrodynamic model were needed bathymetrics data, substrates data for the friction model of the underwater relief of the lake to calculate the coefficient of Manning; and boundary conditions. The hydrodynamic simulations, depths and velocities, are performed using the model of Saint-Venant shallow water. The simulated depths were compared to data available in the literature. The simulated depths and velocities and the morphological study were used to analysis water flow pattern and sedimentation trends in the lake.
